THEATRE + COMEDY

Killdozer Productions presents its first production, The Pillowman, by Martin McDonagh.  Running September 10 through September 19 at Express Theatre, 446 Northwest Mall, 77092.

Once upon a time, there was a man who wrote dark fairy tales that he thought were very clever. Fairy tales where children learned harsh, painful lessons sometimes costing them life and limb. They're just fairy tales, right? A serial killer is murdering children in a way that mimics the dark stories of a local writer named Katurian. Two detectives probe for answers from Katurian whom they suspect is the perpetrator.

As the shocking case unravels the real truth behind the murders lead the detectives to an incredible and disturbing twist.

The play received the 2004 Olivier Award for Best New Play, the 2004-5 New York Drama Critics' Circle Award for Best New Foreign Play, and two Tony Awards for production. It was nominated for the 2004 Evening Standard Award for Best New Play.

NOTE:  The Pillowman contains disturbing scenes of violence and is therefore intended for mature audiences only.
